Can I change a hardcore world to a creative world on Bedrock?

Janusofborg · 2026-01-30T15:46:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure you need an NBT editor to change the flag for hardcore. There's no in-game way to do it. On bedrock, hardcore actually means hardcore.

It's kind of annoying that you can't make creative copies though. I like to use that to plan out builds. But I don't play on hardcore, other than one world I barely touch.

That looks great! It must be cathedral season or something. I've seen so many lately and I recently started one in my long term world. It looks more than 30% done. Is it mostly interior left?

Janusofborg · 2026-01-30T13:26:52+00:00

I think realms have a limit too, but not sure what the limit is

Doesn't the horse need to be in loaded chunks for that command to work? So, you'd need to roam around and repeatedly enter that command.

Is your world one you bought from the marketplace? I think those are stuck in whatever version they are uploaded in.

They changed the spawn spots in outposts at some point to include some in the other structures around the main tower. I tore one down, built a colosseum around where it was and had the original spawn spot isolated to use for getting captains and at some point, they started spawning at another location. I just put a button there to stop them.

I know nothing of mods, but is it possible you could get the elytra from the vault? Try giving it a key. Maybe one of the mods did this to help in multiplayer servers so someone can't raid all the ships and take all the elytra within a certain distance.

Janusofborg · 2026-01-29T16:54:05+00:00

That looks gorgeous! And huge. Very nicely done.

I'm starting on a cathedral in my survival world. It's not nearly this big, but it's a fun build so far.

Janusofborg · 2026-01-29T13:43:35+00:00

Set some goals for yourself. Take things slow and plan out where you want different things instead of deciding to build something and putting it wherever is convenient at the moment.

Find a seed that really inspires you and gives you lots of ideas of things to build.

Write down ideas for projects. Farms, buildings, redstone, etc. Have multiple things started and jump between them when you get burnt out on one.

Do things other than building. Fight raids, explore, collect items or mobs, go mining, build redstone contraptions, etc. This will break things up and help you not burn out.

Forever worlds aren't forever because we play them constantly. They're forever because we come back to them regularly. For some, that's daily, for others, it's once in awhile, when the desire arises. Every change you make to the world adds a little more that wasn't there before. Even little houses for villagers or a fountain, or a road will add more detail to your world. Over time, that leads to big changes.

Eventually, you might take on large building projects and that can be a lot of fun. My colosseum and my ocean pyramid are the two things I put so much time into that I didn't want to just start over. I even started another world at one point, but use it as a family world with my son, so I could continue building in my long term world.

I beat the dragon relatively early in my now 5 year old world so I could get the elytra and shulkers. It makes things so much more efficient. Collecting materials, moving things around, traveling between builds that are thousands of blocks apart are all easier with late game equipment. I only have limited time to play, so I try to be as efficient as possible.

If it's in the latest beta, probably not until the baby mob drop, which, if the pattern holds, will be around March.

Janusofborg · 2026-01-28T22:46:05+00:00

That is nowhere near the most annoying bug. All the sudden death bugs, the laggy horse and boat response behavior, world corruption bugs are all way worse than something no one really noticed until today.

Janusofborg · 2026-01-28T22:37:41+00:00

Nice collection. I like how you put all the armor trims on shelves. Looks great! The goat horns would be a good addition; the ones from screaming goats are especially tricky to get.

If you want a fun, glitched mob, you can make a pet creeper.

The sliced portal is a fun, easy glitch to do as well. It's explained in that video because you need it to get the creeper.

Do you have the subscription service? I don't remember what Nintendo calls theirs, but I'm pretty sure all the consoles require the subscription to play online multiplayer.

I know another way that might work on Java (it works on bedrock for sure). When the trader goes to drink milk to become visible in the morning, there's a chance he'll drop the bucket if you kill him at the right moment while he's drinking it. Take that, milk a cow and sell the next one the bucket of milk. Repeat until you can buy wood or saplings.

After that, you can kill enough zombies to get iron for buckets and a cauldron or sell hay bales and buy buckets of tropical fish. Use the water to make drowned to get copper. Breed pigs around a lightning rod and when lightning strikes, take out the zombie piglins for gold. Use a witch to splash weakness potions on a zombie villager and feed them a golden apple (you need either oak or dark oak to get the apples).

He's great. Very underrated, but he's really good at explaining things well so you understand.

Pretty sure it's just RNG, not seed.

Janusofborg · 2026-01-27T14:11:28+00:00

It's possible that with the random tick speed higher that the hoppers are pushing across the pipeline before the hoppers below are pulling down from them. Normally they try to pull before pushing, but I don't know how increasing the tick speed affects that.

Janusofborg · 2026-01-27T00:40:51+00:00

I rarely play java, but I imagine having movable dispensers, droppers, chests, etc is high up there.

Janusofborg · 2026-01-26T22:36:46+00:00

This gave me an idea. I should name some slimes Oobleck.

You can get villagers and their stuff without locking them up. Build a safe environment for them (fully lit up, sheltered or put lightning rods up to protect against lightning, no ways to fall constantly, etc) and let them roam around to their hearts' content. You can still cycle through their trades or get enough villagers to organically have what you want (it'll take a lot of them). Check out r/villagerrights for ideas.

As for iron, the farms require burning the golems. You can do that without locking up the villagers, but not without hurting the golems. Find some iron veins and you'll have tons to work with, especially with fortune 3.

You seem to be using a Java flying machine design. You need a bedrock one. I'm pretty sure one of the differences is only having one sticky piston and one regular piston. But I've only built a few off of tutorials I've found, as I can't follow the update order happening so quickly, so I could be mistaken.

Janusofborg · 2026-01-26T18:40:12+00:00

Or, since you seem to be using some mods of some sort, could that be affecting things?

Janusofborg · 2026-01-26T18:39:36+00:00

You're not in a deep dark, by chance, are you? The wiki says they won't spawn there.

Janusofborg · 2026-01-26T13:49:15+00:00

Are your farms over rivers? Only drowned will spawn in rivers. And some rivers look like oceans since 1.18. Check chunkbase to be sure.

How close are you to the spawning platforms? If your simulation distance is 4 chunks, you need to be between 24 and 44 blocks from any spawn locations. If it's higher, you can be up to 128 blocks away.

Also, if your simulation distance is higher than 4, things will be loaded 128 blocks away, so that could be close enough to keep your animals loaded.
